Google DeepMind just dropped a game-changer: Gemini Robotics, an AI built on Gemini 2.0 that can handle 500+ real-world tasks—like folding origami or packing snacks—without any prior training. In this video, we dive into how this vision-language-action model doubles the performance of other top robotics AI, generalizing to new challenges on the fly. From interactive chats to precise dexterity, Gemini Robotics is redefining what robots can do. Plus, we explore Gemini Robotics-ER, the embodied reasoning version bringing spatial smarts and safety to the table. With partnerships like Apptronik and testers like Boston Dynamics, the future of helpful robots is closer than ever. But what does this mean for your home or workplace?

Today on Equity (https://techcrunch.com/podcasts/equity/) , we’re taking you to Austin, Texas, for South by Southwest, where Rebecca Bellan caught up with Dara Treseder, Chief Marketing Officer at Autodesk, and Mayor Matt Mahan of San Jose, to discuss how technology is transforming urban spaces and building the cities of the future. The panel (https://techcrunch.com/snippet/2978995/san-jose-wants-you-to-build-your-ai-startup-downtown/) dug into how cities today are using AI to improve traffic and safety, why digital twins can help make cities more resilient to climate disasters, and how cities can integrate data centers into the fabric of their urban landscapes, among other topics. It’s a timely discussion, especially in the wake of Autodesk laying off roughly 1350 workers (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-27/autodesk-to-cut-jobs-in-focus-on-boosting-profitability) —about 9% of their staff—following a restructuring to focus on cloud and AI initiatives.

State Senator Scott Weiner is back with SB 53, a new AI bill that strips away the most debated parts of last year’s failed legislation while keeping key whistleblower protections and a public cloud computing initiative called CalCompute. With the AI industry and even the federal government shifting away from AI safety regulation in favor of innovation, will the bill gain any traction?

Today on Equity (https://techcrunch.com/podcasts/equity/) , Julie Bort sits down with Ryan Hinkle (https://www.insightpartners.com/team/ryan-hinkle/) a Managing Director at Insight Partners, the giant New York-based venture capital firm that invests in tech worldwide. It has $90 billion in assets under management and just raised a new $12.5 billion fund. (https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/16/new-york-powerhouse-vc-insight-partners-nabs-another-12-5b-after-8b-in-exits/) The pair unpack the evolving landscape of startup ecosystems. They talk about the post-pandemic shift that saw many founders moving to cities like New York or Miami only for the rise of OpenAI and Cerebral Valley (https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/04/san-francisco-office-space-2/) and the accompanying AI boom to reignite San Francisco and Silicon Valley in general.  While some founders say that they are now relocating their companies to San Francisco (https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/25/in-2024-it-really-is-better-to-run-a-startup-in-san-francisco-according-to-data-and-founders-whove-relocated/#:~:text=In%202024%2C%20it%20really%20is,founders%20who've%20relocated%20%7C%20TechCrunch) , Hinkle disagrees with the necessity of doing so. He concedes that the Valley offers an unmatched talent pool but argues it also comes with steep costs and retention challenges, making it far from the only viable choice for startups. Listen to the full episode to hear more about: • Why startup success isn’t tied to a single location but rather to access to skilled, loyal, and affordable talent • How Silicon Valley’s abundance of opportunities creates a "mercenary” hiring culture, making employee retention difficult • The key differences between building in New York vs. Silicon Valley, including financial management and access to venture capital Equity will be back on Friday with our weekly news roundup, so don’t miss it!

Today, on TechCrunch’s Equity (https://techcrunch.com/podcasts/equity/) podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Max Zeff and Anthony Ha are breaking down the week’s biggest stories, including the Optifye.ai controversy, the wider concerns about AI in labor, and why this demo could be a glimpse of what's coming next. Listen to the full episode to hear about: • Amazon’s Alexa unveiling (https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/26/amazon-unveils-a-new-and-improved-alexa-alexa/) this week in NYC, and why an AI-enabeled Alexa+ could make the competition sweat • Why the departure of Lucid Motors' CEO Peter Rawlinson (https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/25/lucid-motors-ceo-peter-rawlinson-steps-down/) is raising concerns about the company's future • Bridgetown Research’s $19 million raise (https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/26/bridgetown-research-raises-19m-to-speed-up-due-diligence-with-ai/) to automate due diligence • Figure AI’s new funds (https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/14/figure-ai-is-in-talks-to-raise-1-5b-at-15x-its-last-valuation/) and Helix plans (https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/20/figures-humanoid-robot-takes-voice-orders-to-help-around-the-house/) . When asked if they’d want the humanoid assistants in their home, Kirsten was skeptical, but Max prefers the softer side of robotics.  Equity will be back next week, so stay tuned!
